Foudroyant vs Black Orchid

Foudroyant receives minimal but positive mention in the community, with the primary user praising its longevity for workday wear. The fragrance appears to be respected as part of Givenchy's premium line, though the limited sample size prevents a comprehensive community consensus.

The r/fragrance community has polarized opinions on Black Orchid, with many praising its unique dark, artistic character and exceptional longevity, while others find the heavy patchouli and earthy base off-putting. Most wearers report getting compliments when wearing it in the right context, though it requires careful application due to its extreme strength and works best as an occasional evening fragrance rather than daily wear.
